Toronto — You can knock a lot of things about this Tigers baseball team, but any knock against their resiliency, their battle level, their ability to flush a bad performance and move on to the next with enthusiasm is disingenuous and uninformed. After blowing an eight-run lead in the final four innings Thursday and being swept

Toronto — The Tigers didn’t need validation from an outside source, of course, but it’s never a bad thing when the opposing manager gives a hat-tip to one of your young foundation pieces. Angels manager Joe Maddon came away impressed after watching rookie lefty Tarik Skubal dispatch 17 of 19 hitters after allowing a two-run homer to
Detroit — It was like watching a team get bled out. The Tigers led 10-2 going into the sixth inning Thursday afternoon, poised to salvage one of three against the Angels. Instead, the Angels rallied for 11 runs in the final four innings, taking a most improbable and, for the Tigers, hard to swallow, 13-10 win at
Detroit — Wednesday night, the crowd at Comerica Park chanted, “MVP, MVP,” as Angels Shohei Ohtani trotted around the bases after walloping a 430-foot home run and dominating the Tigers on the mound for eight innings. On Thursday, the fans came out to resume stalking history with Miguel Cabrera, cheering wildly as he knocked in four runs
We saw it then, many of us. We still see it. Bill Freehan, flipping his mask, slowly stalking Tim McCarver’s pop-up between home plate and the first-base-side seats, smothering the ball in his fat mitt — and sending all of Detroit into ecstasy following that magical, marvelous, nearly miraculous world-championship season of 1968 when the Tigers
Detroit — Baseball journeys — you could never script what catcher Dustin Garneau has gone through to land in the Tigers’ starting lineup Thursday. On Tuesday, he was playing a Triple-A game for Albuquerque in Sugarland, Texas. He was looking forward to flying up to Las Vegas on Wednesday to see his wife and kids, whom he
Bill Freehan, a 15-season catcher for the Detroit Tigers who neared the Hall of Fame threshold, died Thursday after a long bout with Alzheimer’s Disease. He was 79. He grew up in Royal Oak, played football and baseball at the University of Michigan, then broke in at 19 with the Tigers, helping them to a
Detroit — Rookie Tarik Skubal was impressive Wednesday night, but in a mortal man kind of way. What Shohei Ohtani was doing, well, that kind of performance hasn’t much been seen in this millennium. “What he does on the mound and what he does at the plate, it’s unbelievable to watch,” Skubal said. “For him to
Detroit — Jack Morris, a celebrated hero of the World Series-champion 1984 Detroit Tigers and a member of the team’s broadcast team for much of the past decade, has been suspended “indefinitely” by Bally Sports Detroit following his use of a perceived Asian accent during Tuesday night’s broadcast. Bally Sports Detroit made the announcement Wednesday
Detroit — Rookie Tarik Skubal was very good Wednesday night, but Shohei Ohtani was better. Not only did Ohtani shut the Tigers’ offense down for eight innings, he also launched a gigantic home run in the top of the eighth to help the Angels beat the Tigers for the second night in a row, 3-1, before
Detroit — Tigers manager AJ Hinch was asked before the game if there were any roster moves pending. “We’re considering some things,” he said. “Let’s get through batting practice first.” There were a lot of balls still in the air Wednesday as the Tigers were not only trying to put together a roster to finish the
The Tigers on Wednesday announced their spring-training schedule for 2022, opening with an exhibition against Southeastern University, followed by the opener against Washington. The Tigers are starting their 86th season at TigerTown in Lakeland, Florida. Ticket information will be announced at a later date. Tigers 2022 spring-training schedule (Game times will be announced at a
Detroit — Jack Morris, a celebrated hero of the World Series-champion 1984 Detroit Tigers and a member of the team’s broadcast team for much of the past decade, has been suspended “indefinitely” by Bally Sports Detroit following his use of a perceived Asian accent during Tuesday night’s broadcast. Bally Sports Detroit made the announcement Wednesday afternoon,
Jack Morris is in trouble, and rightly so. We had gotten beyond — supposedly — using ethnic mockery as part of our professional motif, whether it’s in a baseball broadcast booth or any other corridor of American life. But he stepped in it pretty deeply Tuesday night when, during the Los Angeles Angels-Detroit Tigers broadcast, he lapsed
Detroit — Tigers television analyst Jack Morris gave a lengthy apology during Tuesday night’s game after comments in the sixth inning were perceived by some viewers as him using a Japanese accent as Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani was coming to the plate. Ohtani, the Angels’ two-way player who was hitting Tuesday and is

Detroit – AJ Hinch looked up in the ninth inning Tuesday night and striding to the plate, again, was Shohei Ohtani. The Angel leadoff hitter was making his sixth plate appearance. “If a leadoff guy is getting a sixth at-bat, a lot has gone wrong,” Hinch said. Oh yeah. By the time Ohtani batted in
Detroit — Hard to believe, but this was Jose Iglesias’ first game back at Comerica Park since he parted ways with the Tigers after the 2018 season. “It’s great to be back, to see the love from the fans,” Iglesias said, waving to a couple of fans behind the Angels dugout who were holding a “Welcome
Detroit — Turns out, the debate wasn’t whether or not to promote top prospects Spencer Turnbull and Riley Greene, as well as shortstop Ryan Kreidler, to Triple-A Toledo. The debate was whether to send them as a package or one at a time. There wasn’t much pushback on promoting them. “The organization really felt like the challenge
Logistically, they’re only 75 miles from Detroit. From a baseball-skills perspective, they’re a bit farther. But that promotion to Triple-A Toledo that came Sunday for Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, Ryan Kreidler, and Brady Policelli, was about the Tigers’ plans for 2022 and beyond, and where they see at least three of the above as spring
